he thought that everything has to be run-down and, well, shitty and third-world-country-like just because it's in the Middle East seems a bit... wrong?
you literally have burnt out jeeps feet away from the office. you need to be setting a consistent tone..
I'll post about texturing later and try and explain better, no time just now.

okay after a run about last night:
- optimisation is terrible. Was getting 60-90 frames in some locations. Doesn't look like you've func_detailed all stairs etc. Vis seems to start a good 32-64 units under the map too which is a little concerning. Are your areas properly sealed in regards to area_portals and hints?
- Theme wise- not sure where the map is meant to be set...not sure if you do either. I suggest you look at areas in the north of africa - Algeria/Mauritania/libya etc and use references of these places to build a stronger identity for your map. the map is such clashes on texture sets - Middle east/Mirage-style africa/European internals/industral/wartorn areas which actually hampers believability and path finding. I would suggest simplifying and making the map make sense thematically. There are some areas where it feels you're in a totally different map.

For No Draw, should it be applied to all sides except the top one with something like a floor? For example if I have a 200 wide x 400 long x 8 tall path with walls - should no draw be applied to all faces but the surface the player walks on, or just the main underside?
All sides that can't be seen by the player.

To me it seems a little 'off' theme wise- too many different texture sets- this is just from the pictures though. I'll have a run around a give you better feedback later
From the video I would also suggest more ground level detail - displacements etc to break up some of the larger flat areas..
-
Will be interesting to see if you can slowly 'clean up' the environment by picking up scrap or if it respawns.
looking great though- need to speed up my FO1/2/3/NV playthrough

yeah I hope the low int stuff is done well. Will wreck it if the guy speaks in perfect English.

tight.
not so tight: bugs crawling out of corpse guts.

What's the religious reference to mass? It has always seemed like a weird name for this map to me, considering the theme, so just wondering

I had a typo, the file is called de_alps instead of de:alps
Also, if I simply add a suffix to the end of the filename is that going to work, or do I need to recompile? And why is this required?
recompile to be on the safe side. it's not the best start to a playtest if the map is corrupt.
-
that res scale is different so it won't work. get a friend with 1280 x 1024 to do it for you.

Crazy life. Rest in peace

have you deleted and created the brush again?
Issues like this are normally invalid brushwork (invalid floating point numbers etc) that gets deleted on compile -should be in the compile log- looks pretty solid and simple though...
-
How are these brushes arranged? is the wood func_detail too?
I take it the brush is a square shape and doesn't match the missing area?

Go for a orange/deep blue ambiance with flood lit streets

I think another carpet trim (or using the main carpet as a trim and making a new main floor) will help it.
I haven't even started to think about the wall detail too which will obviously do a lot to change the look.
Thanks for your help guys
-
But I maked it
I guess I could use as a trim instead?
-
or make a map SO BAD no one wants to decompile it. That's my method.

okay progress. Wish I could take time off work to blast this shit out.

remind me in the playtest to buy a negev
